The Truth About My Saddlemen Roadsofa LS. Why did I choose it and am I happy with the purchase
Why I thought I needed an aftermarket seat: The Truth Revealed!"
I bought the Saddlemen Roadsofa LS seat for your motorcycle for several reasons. Firstly, comfort is often a primary consideration for riders, especially for long rides or touring. The Roadsofa LS seat is designed with extra padding and ergonomic shaping to provide superior comfort compared to stock seats, reducing fatigue and discomfort during extended periods of riding.
Secondly, the Roadsofa LS seat may offer improved durability and quality compared to stock seats, which can be especially important for riders who put a lot of miles on their bikes or ride in varied conditions.
Additionally, the aesthetic appeal of the Roadsofa LS seat might have been a factor in your decision. Saddlemen is known for its attention to detail and stylish designs, so the seat likely enhances the overall look of your motorcycle.
Lastly, if you read positive reviews or received recommendations from other riders about the Roadsofa LS seat, that could have influenced your decision as well. Word of mouth and online reviews can be powerful motivators when choosing motorcycle accessories.

I bought the same seat plus rider and passenger back rest. I have a 2019 CVO Limited and had the stock seat modified and set back 1.5 inches so when I bought the LS it stated it was 2 inches back from stock. I didn't think that extra 1/2 inch would have made a difference, but it did. I am 6'2" and 300 lbs so I need the extra room, but the 2 inches was too much. It put me in an awkward riding position, and I just wasn't comfortable. My back took a toll because it didn't touch the rider back rest. I put 2500 miles on the seat, and it just never got comfortable. I ended up going back to my original seat and I am talking to Saddlemen about returning everything. Wife didn't like the narrow passenger seat.

@jeffwilliams716 22 дня назад

Great feedback. I'll be going back to the stock seat when the wife and I go to Sturgis this year. She is not a fan of the seat at all.

@Viewson2s 3 месяца назад

I just ordered this seat, hoping it serves me well. Good insight sir. Subded

@jeffwilliams716 3 месяца назад

Awesome! Thank you for the sub! It will feel stiff/hard at first. It took me some time to get use to it. Once I did, crushing miles has not been an issue!

@sk8r4life92188 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the video. It took me a while to find somebody talking about the seat next to the motorcycle with it installed. Other note as you continue to blackout your bike, don’t forget your saddlebag levers cheap quick replacement to get rid of that chrome piece.

@jeffwilliams716 2 месяца назад

I appreciate the view and the comment. You know, I thought about the levers a long time ago but completely forgot about it. I'm definitely going to do that upgrade this season! Thanks for suggestion/reminder!

Love the saddlemen road sofa , I would never run a HD seat , been riding for 52 years , just zip tie wires and tuck them under

@jeffwilliams716 3 месяца назад

Great idea and possibly a 15 cent fix! Thank you for the view, comment and suggestion!

@2upjourneyjunkies 3 месяца назад

Great video! We have the same exact seat! Susan loves it & can ride the entire day comfortably! I am not a fan. After a few hours, I start wiggling around from being sore! lol!

@jeffwilliams716 3 месяца назад

That's just the opposite for my wife. She liked the stock seat better. When we go to Milwaukee and Sturgis, I'll put the stock seat on for her. Thanks for the view and comment.

Ended up giving my Road Sofa to my dad, since it puts you so high on the bike. Tried the Saddlemen SDC and found my seat.

@jeffwilliams716 3 месяца назад

The stiffness and your right you sit much taller on this seat which can change your wind protection. It took some time to get use to for sure. Now it feels natural. Thanks for the view and comment!

@northbysoutheast5439 3 месяца назад

I’m going to be looking for a longer seat when I get out of hospital. My seat now is for a shorter person and it caused an abscess that turned in to a blood infection. Almost snuffed the life out of me because of a seat. I’m still not out of the woods yet, but feeling better. 😎👍

@jeffwilliams716 3 месяца назад

WOW. That's scary! If someone lost their life because of a motorcycle, THAT would never cross my mind of what happened. Glad to hear your on the mend.

@rob4730 3 месяца назад

I have that seat with the backrest. Great seat.

@jeffwilliams716 3 месяца назад

I thought about the one with the backrest too. I do love the seat too. Thanks for the view and comment.

@Davidsmithisyourdad 27 дней назад

I got one coming for my goldwing showing up friday. I can't wait, i hear nothing but good things about this seat

@jeffwilliams716 26 дней назад

I think you're going to like it after the break-in period. It's going to feel stiff at first, and you're going to feel taller if you're coming from the stock seat. But eventually, it'll feel perfect.

@Davidsmithisyourdad 26 дней назад

@jeffwilliams716 that's what I have heard. I have the stock seat on it now. The last owned took apart the stock seat and hacked it up really bad. So I'm sure this will be a huge improvement

@guyconnell2250 Месяц назад

Got one "in my cart". Been burned by seats that looked comfy in the past. Expensive mistakes. So I appreciate your review. Comfy on long riding days is what I'm after. My daily seat is an LS Step up extended reach. It isn't quite comfy enough on 700 mile days, which is why I'm researching the Road Sofa.

@jeffwilliams716 Месяц назад

I hope to catch you in time. I just returned from a 3,200-mile trip. The first leg was Buffalo to Knoxville. (725 miles). Let me tell you, I was sore when we got there. I could still feel it in the morning when we mounted up again. (250 mile day) By the next morning, l was better. I am seriously considering another seat before I take another 700-mile trip. I'm a bigger guy. 6 feet tall and about 260 lbs. I think I'm going to look into a hammock style seat with more surface. I've come to believe it's personal preference. Some people like firm beds, others like softer beds. The same is true with seats for distance. I loved the seat for rides I've taken 0-500 mile distance. At 700, I was questioning my purchase. Hey, thanks for the view and comment! I hope this added information helps you!

@jeffwilliams716 Месяц назад

One other thing to consider. Many HD Dealers have demo seats. I'd suggest reaching out to see if yours has one and if you can try it for a few days. It could be worth the time. Clearly, I'm not sponsored by Saddlemen, so this is my honest opinion of the seat. Like I said in the video, "if my stock seat was extended reach, I probably wouldn't have changed it."I think I'm a hammock style seat guy."

@chumps7974 Месяц назад

I've come to the same conclusion. It's very costly to do trial and error. My Road King came with a cvo seat that looks good but isn't any good after 2 hours. My Road sofa is way better than stock but there may be others that are better. I don't want to pay the tax to compare

@FatherSarducci 3 месяца назад

I have the same seat and my wife complains about it because it's not wide enough, I did 500 mile 8 hours after only having a 100 miles on the seat. It wasn't bad by myself but if they made it the same width as the stock hammock, my wife would be happier. I had a drag specialties pillow top on my Victory and she loved it but it was not that comfortable for me. Thank you for putting this together as others have been complaining about this seat.

@jeffwilliams716 3 месяца назад

My wife says the same thing. She's only put about 200 miles on it but some of that is because she doesn't like the seat. I had a butt buffer installed under my Victory Hammer 8 Ball and she has a pad that I'd attach when she rode with me on that bike. She preferred the stock seat of them all. I like this one most. Thanks for the view and comment.

@chumps7974 Месяц назад

I've had a similar complaint about it seeming small

@jeffwilliams716 Месяц назад

@@chumps7974 It becomes looks vs. comfort. I like the look of the slimmer seat on the bike. I like the comfort of the bigger seat for the ride! Thanks for the view and comment!

@chumps7974 3 месяца назад

I like mine so far.

@jeffwilliams716 3 месяца назад

I found it's a lot like a bed. Some people like a softer bed and others a more firm bed. The same is true with motorcycle seats. Some will like the softer hammock style and others the firmer roadsofa style. Thanks for the view and comment!

@jessel.8697 3 месяца назад

Loosen the four bolts under the tourpak mount and move the tourpak forward to get rid of the space. That is unless your passenger has to have the extra room. But since there is no seat padding that far back she probably is sitting a bit more forward anyway. Moving the Tourpak may make your passenger more comfortable.

@jeffwilliams716 3 месяца назад

Thanks for the view, comment, and insight to a solution. I'll try this for sure!

@M_J_Glide_22 3 месяца назад

You can buff it out....the paint correction can be taken care of easily

@jeffwilliams716 3 месяца назад

My wife ended up buying a tank bra. She must have been sick of me complaining about the marks showing. I'll definitely try to buff it out before I put the tank bra on. Thanks for the view and comment!

@kellybgliding 2 месяца назад

I’m looking for a seat so that my wife can ride with me. Great review

@jeffwilliams716 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the view and comment KBG! FYI - My wife preferred the comfort of the stock seat more. I think she liked more surface to sit on but hasn't ridden enough to break it in. I've heard that same thing for other 2 up riders. Susan from TwoUpJourneyJunkies felt the same way.

@xxSTONExx Месяц назад

How's the air flow? With the ridges and separations I feel like you might get a little more airflow under the giblets when making quick adjustments. The stock seat seems like good seal for heat.

@jeffwilliams716 Месяц назад

Great point. I didn't mention that the seat is also perforated. They send a cover for the seat because if it rains, that seat will absorb some moisture. But yes, it does allow good air flow. I will need to do a follow-up on this seat because when we got to Knoxville, I was saddle sore for sure! I considered buying a seat and shipping this one back to my house. LOL

@shortyrock804 3 месяца назад

Question…when paying that much for a seat is there a trail time frame to use the seat to send it back if you do not like it?

@jeffwilliams716 3 месяца назад

Check with a HD dealer. My dealer had demo seats to try out and they encouraged me to do that before I bought the seat. But silly me said, I know it's the seat I want so throw it on and I'll go pay for it. I can not speak to the customer service of Saddlemen and their return policy. Thanks for the view, comment, and question!

Just get someone to buff out the seat marker tank. I do feel like I'm sitting higher on my CVO.

@jeffwilliams716 3 месяца назад

Thanks for the view and comment. I will try to buff it out. I think my wife was sick of me talking about it so she bought me a tank bra! LOL. I agree. The seat definitely felt stiff and it has you sitting taller, which took some getting use to. But it also changed my wind protection which had me change to a Klock Werk windshield too.

@michaelseroy9586 3 месяца назад

Had a road sofa I felt it was very hard and uncomfortable. wrote it for about 2000 miles still couldn’t get it broken in, and ended up with a Mustang

@jeffwilliams716 3 месяца назад

I had a bit of buyers remorse for the fist 100-200 miles because of the stiffness of the seat compared to the stock seat. It also sat me up taller and changed my wind protection. It took a bit of time getting use to it. Now it feels natural. Thanks for the view and comment.

@michaelroy925 28 дней назад

BTW, Saddlemen says their seats won't fit with saddlebag guards but I see you have saddlebag guards. 🤔 How was it on the install?

@jeffwilliams716 27 дней назад

I will be 100% honest with you. I was at the dealership for one of my service mile maintenance. While my bike was in the back, I purchased the seat and the dealership swapped the seats for me. Since then, I have had no reason to remove the seat personally. However, I have had additional work done at the dealership and he didn't seem to have any problem with the install after installing my LED accent lights and subwoofer.

@michaelroy925 27 дней назад

Awesome! Good to know, Thank You

@EzlivnMaine 3 месяца назад

I believe the stock seat is a hammock seat

@jeffwilliams716 3 месяца назад

I believe you are correct. I wish I said that in the view as a contrast to the Roadsofa. That changes the whole seating experience. Thanks for the view and comment!

@northbysoutheast5439 3 месяца назад

Do you know of anyone that works with leather that can add some leather to cover the wires and the remnant of the factory seat on tank?

@jeffwilliams716 3 месяца назад

My wife bought me a tank bra so that will cover those marks. Someone else suggested zip ties and tuck the wires under. I'm going to try that tonight. Thanks for the view and comment!

@mrmerv3840 3 месяца назад

I purchased a roadsofa about a month ago. I put about 500 miles on it and it is still hard and uncomfortable. Not happy with the seat at all.

@M_J_Glide_22 3 месяца назад

that seat is known to break in at around 1000 miles...then it starts to break in. You don't want it too soft at all.

@mrmerv3840 3 месяца назад

@@M_J_Glide_22 Thanks I will run it another 1000 miles and see.

I am looking for a saddlemen as well but not sure about which one...how tall are you...not sure if I need the extended reach for me...I'm 5'8"

Check with a HD dealer. My dealer had demo seats to try out and they encouraged me to do that before I bought the seat. But silly me said, I know it's the seat I want so throw it on and I'll go pay for it. I'm almost 6 foot so the extended reach was huge. I'm not sure you'd need the extended reach either.

@M_J_Glide_22 3 месяца назад

how tall are you sir?

@jeffwilliams716 3 месяца назад

I am 5'11". I felt slightly cramped with the stock seat but it was manageable. Now with the extended reach, I am super comfortable!

@user-ig4cv3hu7o Месяц назад

How does your wife like it now?

@jeffwilliams716 Месяц назад

She's not a fan of the seat. We are going to HD Homecoming and then Sturgis next month, so I'm going to put the stock seat back on when we ride. Thanks for the view and comment!
